Ages 2-1/2 to 6. Full-day and half-day programs. Full Member American Montessori Society.
At The Montessori House we have over 100 students (ages 2-1/2 to 1st Grade) in full- and half-day school programs. We�ve been in Tenafly since 1993, at the corner of Riveredge and Knickerbocker.
Why choose The Montessori House for your child? Well, we get remarkable results in a remarkable environment!
If you come visit, we'll show you how it works. We use the Montessori Method, a proven approach that�s individualized for each child: it allows your child to develop academic and practical life skills at her own pace. Some children race ahead in math, others in language. At the same time Montessori develops self-control, independence, self-motivation, and respect. Most important, by proceeding at her pace, your child will love learning.
Surprisingly, any school can call itself �Montessori�, but in Tenafly and neighboring towns only The Montessori House is credentialed as a Full Member by The American Montessori Society, which means our classes are staffed by properly trained and certified Montessori teachers.
Children receive the skilled attention they need: we have no more than 10 students for each teacher in our Montessori classes; and our teachers average over 10 years of classroom experience.
Tour during the school day and you�ll see our students and teachers in action. You�ll also discover the caring, warm, inviting atmosphere Montessori House children, teachers, and parents enjoy so much.
You�re welcome to visit day or evening, or on the weekend. Just call us at 201-816-8343 to set a time.
